- New leak suggests RTX 60 series could come late 2027
- Source is a leaker with a solid history
- Increase in RAM prices could delay the launch
Good news may be on the horizon for PC gamers, as a credible hardware leaker indicates that Nvidia's next-generation RTX 60 series graphics cards are set to launch in the latter half of 2027.
This timeline aligns with expectations, considering the current RTX 50 series was released last year, and Nvidia typically waits a few years before introducing new architectures.
If this leak holds true, we could see new GPUs like the RTX 6090 launching around the same time as the anticipated GTA 6 PC port. This timing would be ideal, as the game is expected to be a graphical powerhouse, prompting many gamers to upgrade their systems.
According to Notebookcheck.net, the leaker known as 'kopite7kimi' posted on X, formerly Twitter, in response to a query about the RTX 6090's release date. Their straightforward reply of '2027H2' implies that the flagship RTX 60-series GPU, along with others like the RTX 6080, will debut later next year.
However, with RAM prices currently soaring, there are concerns that Nvidia might postpone the RTX 60 series launch until supply issues are resolved. There has been no sign of Nvidia's mid-generation RTX 50 series 'Super' GPUs, which were notably absent at CES 2026, leading many to believe that the global memory shortage has delayed their release.
If 'kopite7kimi's somewhat cryptic message is accurate, it suggests that fears of delays for Nvidia's next-gen GPUs may currently be unfounded.
Time to Get Excited?
While it's promising to think that Nvidia's upcoming GPUs won't face delays, it's wise to temper excitement.
Although 'kopite7kimi' has a strong track record for accurate leaks, their post lacks details on the source of this information, and it remains unclear whether they are referring specifically to the RTX 6090 or the entire RTX 60 series.
Given that we have just entered 2026, the second half of 2027 is far enough away for unforeseen delays to arise, especially as the RAM price crisis shows no signs of abating.
The possibility of the RTX 60 series launching alongside GTA 6 on PC might also be overly optimistic. Rockstar, the developer behind the franchise, has not confirmed a PC release. However, I remain hopeful that GTA 6 will eventually come to PC, as has been the case with previous main entries in the series, although there is no guarantee it will launch in 2027, despite being a year after the delayed console release scheduled for later this year.
Even if the RTX 60 series avoids delays due to RAM price issues, there could still be implications, with Nvidia's already high GPU prices potentially increasing further.
